Garner grooves nicely here – finding an almost renewed energy for the 60s, but still hitting all those highly-rhythmic modes we love so much in his early work!

Swing Low, Sweet Cadillac ... LP Impulse, 1967. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $34.99
A brilliant album of Latiny grooves from Diz! The record takes off from the soulful/modal mood of the early 60s groups with Lalo Schifrin and Kenny Barron – and features a young Mike Longo crafting some fantastic lines on piano, stretched out over tight rhythms on electric bass and drums, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Dizzy Gillespie & Stan Getz —
Diz & Getz ... CD Verve, Early 50s. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Nicely grooving material – with tracks that are a bit shorter than the usual Verve "celebrity meets celebrity" set, but which are no less well-played. Dizzy is always fantastic in this sort of loosely-crafted setting – and Getz's playing here is nicely relaxed, with more open- ... read more CD

Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Getz, & Sonny Stitt —
For Musicians Only (with bonus track) ... CD Verve, 1957. Used ... $4.99
A tremendous little record – one that's greater even than the sum of its three mighty parts! Although we've always felt that some of the "all star" sets on Verve could sometimes be a bit too "easy", we're always very big fans of the few that feature strong performances ... read more CD

Pablo, 1980. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $14.99
The trio of trumpeters meets the Oscar Peterson 4 – in a session of long tracks that have a liveish feel in the best Dizzy Gillespie mode! Most of the work here is in classic hardbop blowing style – with the trumpeters stating the head, then breaking out into well-voiced solos that ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Futura/Souffle Continu (France), 1971. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99
One of the most striking albums ever from French experimentalist Jef Gilson – and one of the most outside as well! The album's from the same vintage as some of Gilson's world jazz experiments on the Palm label, but the overall feel here is much more free – with Jef working on a fuzzy ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Orion, Early 80s. Very Good+ ... $24.99
Later work from the Gus Giordano dance studios – a session that's not as funky as some of their earlier work, but still mostly original material played by a group of local Chicago studio musicians! The feel here is mostly an early 80s approach to jazz funk – smooth at times, with a ... (Sound Library, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a trace of a price sticker and light wear.)
Le Tres Jazz Club (France), Early 70s. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99 33.99
Fantastic funky organ from Jacky Giordano – a European keyboardist who seems to sparkle in just about every style he tries on!

Montparnasse 2000/Le Tres Jazz Club (France), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
One of the funkiest records of the French scene of the 70s – a now-legendary sound library album from Jacky Giordano – and one that's filled with amazing keyboards throughout! Jacky stars with grooves that are like some of the best Lalo Schfrin crime/cop modes of the early 70s – ... (Sound Library, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

EMI (Brazil), 1985. Near Mint- ... $18.99
Wonderfully evocative work from Egberto Gismonti – a set based around the music of Hecto Villa-Lobos, but taken to much more creatively modern territory! The older compositions are a wonderful match for Gismonti's free-thinking approach to music – and the tunes are really opened up ... (Brazil, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Ezz-Thetics/Hat Hut (Switzerland), 1961. New Copy ... $16.99 19.99
A fantastic live performance from legendary reedman Jimmy Giuffre – captured here at the time when he was really stepping out with his sound, as heard more famously on the albums Fusion and Free Fall!

Blue Note, 2013. New Copy 2 LP Gatefold ... $24.99 26.98
Mindblowing work from Robert Glasper – a set that makes us fall in love with his music even more than before – and that's saying a heck of a lot, given that we've loved him for years!

Mercury, 1976. Near Mint- ... $5.99
One of the most ambitious records ever made by electronic wizard Patrick Gleeson – a huge talent on the moog and Arp, whose work was featured on key 70s jazz albums by Charles Earland, Joe Henderson, Bennie Maupin, and Herbie Hancock – and that's saying a lot, given that Herbie already ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
